IKEA Partners with Chef Ian to Elevate Classic Dishes to Accessible Fine Dining

Experience accessible fine dining as IKEA teams up with Chef Ian to create two special dishes.“Snow Fish with White Wine Sauce.”and“Meatballs with Truffle Sauce.”Available exclusively at three IKEA restaurant branches from 1 April to 30 June 2026.

Who says fine dining has to be expensive? Recently, IKEA Thailand surprised customers by partnering with Chef Ian Pongthawat Chalermkittichai to craft two special dishes under the campaign “I’m Fine Dining with IKEA.” They transformed high-quality ingredients and the beloved meatball into premium-tasting gourmet dishes at prices everyone can afford, available from 1 April onwards.

Elevating favorite dishes with Chef Ian’s meticulous style.

This important collaboration was inspired by the idea that “great value in taste” can be experienced daily. Chef Ian applied his culinary expertise combined with IKEA’s ingredients to create two standout dishes as follows.

Snow Fish with White Wine Sauce.

This dish pairs tender MSC-certified snow fish with a special white wine sauce. Chef Ian added miso to enhance the umami flavor, served alongside vegetables and Western-style mashed potatoes.

Meatballs with Truffle Sauce.

Taking the legendary IKEA meatballs, beloved worldwide for over 40 years, Chef Ian reinterpreted them with a luxurious cream cheese and fragrant truffle sauce, elevating this familiar dish to a more complex and premium level.

Enjoy gourmet taste at affordable prices.

A highlight of this campaign is the price, which maintains IKEA’s strong value concept, especially for IKEA Family members who receive special discounts.

  • Snow Fish with White Wine Sauce: Regular price 459 baht, Member price 399 baht.
  • Meatballs with Truffle Sauce: Regular price 189 baht, Member price 159 baht.

Not just dining in—create a fine dining experience at home.

Beyond the dishes, IKEA invites cooking enthusiasts to bring ideas home with the METOD kitchen system, customizable and backed by a 25-year warranty, along with stylish cookware and tableware. Chef Ian believes fine dining isn’t complicated but is about attention to detail and designing the dining experience.

The “I’m Fine Dining with IKEA” campaign will be available at IKEA Sukhumvit, IKEA Bangna, and IKEA Bangyai from 1 April to 30 June 2026 only.
